- One real job, documented honestly, photos and all
- Owner-operated: Darius on site start to finish
- Most of the load went to an STS transfer station

Packed. Cleared. Swept.

A Shed Nobody Had Opened in a While.
The shed was the kind a lot of west Denver backyards have: a small structure that started as a place for the lawnmower and slowly turned into a catch-all. By the time we showed up it was packed front to back, with stuff stacked so deep you could not really walk in.
A packed shed like this is all about rhythm. Items come out of the shed, get staged in the yard, and go straight onto the truck. Working it that way keeps things moving and means you only handle each item once.
We started by clearing a path to the back wall, then worked our way out. As each item came out it went straight to the truck. Loading as we went is the trick. It is a lot harder to rearrange a full truck later than it is to place each piece in the moment.
Start to finish it ran about two to three hours, including the sweep at the end. When we left, the floor was clear and swept and the shed was usable again.
Everything in the Truck, Sorted as We Went.
The shed was mostly the usual mix you find once you start pulling things out.
A few worn pieces that had been stored out there and forgotten.
Stacks of empty planters and garden pots taking up floor space.
Plastic totes, some cracked, most full of long-forgotten odds and ends.
Old hand tools, rakes, and the kind of gear that piles up in a shed.
The rest was general clutter: the loose, miscellaneous stuff that fills the corners and the gaps between everything else.
Where the Load Went.
Most of the load went to an STS transfer station. Here is how we handle loads like this in general.
This Job: STS
Most of the load went to an STS transfer station, and the dump fee was part of the price.
Good Items
On any job, good-condition items sometimes go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
Scrap Metal
On any job, big loads of scrap metal get recycled.
A Shed Like This Is Priced by the Yard.
This one was in our old $349 garage and room range. Today a shed cleanout is priced by the yards it fills: $149 for the first 2 cubic yards, then $75 a yard, so a lighter shed comes in under a tightly packed one. Clearing out a shed is priced by the yard; tearing the shed itself down starts at $349.
Whatever the number is, you hear it on site before we touch a thing. You approve the price on site before we start. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.
